"""Richard Lawrence is a true climate hero. For someone with more than a full-time job in finance, he spends a completely unreasonable amount of time, money, passion and creativity fighting for climate solutions. Here he focuses on the vital role Voluntary Carbon Markets need to play; on the dedicated people who drive it forward; and on the need to blend integrity with practical market success."" --Jeremy Grantham, Co-founder and Chairman, The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment ""From its opening chapters to its insightful conclusions, Carbon Done Correctly shows how high-quality carbon projects [in the Global South] and the Voluntary Carbon Market can--and must--be a vital part of the world's solution to climate change."" --Bola Olusanya, Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, The Nature Conservancy ""The global climate crisis urgently demands billions of dollars to fund decarbonization projects around the world. The Voluntary Carbon Market, if done right, can do just that--and people like Richard and Dee Lawrence have dedicated themselves to make the market achieve its full potential. Carbon Done Correctly is a book all should read."" --Bill Winters, CEO, Standard Chartered ""To address climate change, we need all the tools at our disposal. The Voluntary Carbon Market is a much misunderstood and powerful tool that we cannot afford to neglect. Too little has been written of note on these issues, and nothing with the level of detail and example you will find here."" --Ricardo Bayon, Co-author of Voluntary Carbon Markets: An International Business Guide to What They Are and How They Work""; Adjunct Professor of Environmental Studies, Brown University"
